I was on the highway with my car in motion when my car began to sputter and stall forcing me to pull over and have my car towed home, where it only starts after turning over multiple times and will not shift gears properly due to an improper fuel pump not giving the engine enough fuel.
On three separate occasions, after stopping at a stop sign, my 2008 Passat has slid into neutral gear when accelerating. The display still indicates the car is in 'drive', but the engine races when the gas pedal is depressed, and the car does not move. After moving the gear shift to another gear, and then back to drive, the car will again go into drive gear.
